sometimes it wont start

Get a helper to put key in start position-you go underneath and bang on the starter-if it kicks over-you have a bad starter-if not check for power at solenoid-no power backtrack it to the starter relay/transmission range switch/neutral safety switch at the tranny and ignition swtich.

Also double check the battery connection.
